@9 LEE
So, when does your NDA end?
My dealer told me that he is not allowed to unpack his pair (not to speak of displaying them) untill end of week 32.
That is fortunately soon ;-)
May we expect a review (from your impressions back then in Struer) and maybe pics too?

There is a tv - and there is a BV
I think looking at the B&O Global Training videos on YouTube, the BeoLab 90 videos show a great tutorial on calibrating the BeoLab 90s using a microphone and the setup app. The connection panel on the BeoLab 90 where the microphone plugs in looks a little flimsy but you get a good shot of the Beolab 90s back-firing woofers as part of BeoLab 90s ARC system. BeoLab 90
Whoops!
Wrong thread. Should have been the BeoLab 90 page. Still worth watching though!
And Geoff Martin himself makes the show! I like these 90s but not sure if I would have mixed the wood with the black fret....
I like the cinematic of the lens... I wonder if it is possible to buy only one and use it as a giant BeoSound 2.
They even put videos online of the acoustic lens (automatic lifting!) and side cover replacement:

Well spotted!!!
Now 9 LEE, what can hold you back now?
If not even B&O can hold tight!

Finally: Mechanics back in a B&O product!!! Thank you B&O.I guess my Beolab 50 would be back at my dealer for repair very soon. Diagnosis: Somebody seems to have used the motorized feature 1000 times in 2 days!? But the wood looks out of place on the speakers in my opinion.

No need to delete anything about the BL50 anymore on the forum.
All official B&O 'leaks' ;-)))
It is really fun to watch the videos from Geoff - they show where B&O is going.
Watch out for DPL connections - I am sure we will se more of those on B&O devices (as already on the BS Core).
the screen between the speakers is definitely no Avant. any ideas?

No, I would not say that --- unless you emphasize the last part of sentence!
But the last part about how to operate and use the BL50 (as it is with the BL90) with a BeoVision show how important a BV is!
As I have stated before most people concentrate on picture/screen and loudspeaker and tend to forget the Sound Engine working in a B&O-tv.
As for BeoSounds, it is exactly the same - since these also are based on versions of the B&O Sound Engine.
I guess we will see future sound systems with a DPL-output for better syncronication between sound system/loudspeaker/user interface including having different listening presets. We already have one system coming, the BS Core - I am sure there is more to that, than just offering different music sources.
But do we have more information about the Beosound Core?
I cannot seem to find a manuel.
In the new pricelist it have taken over Essense MKII which now must be AOL.

Just found these videos on Youtube. Interesting.
Lots of details on the new speaker product.

IMO not an iconic looking speaker, but I'm sure it sounds really great.

Those are the videos, that were linked to on the previous page here.
Oops - sorry !
I've better read the whole thread next time before posting "old news"...
Probably because he wasn't wearing his glasses....and is 5 years older.
Like a fine wine... he gets better with age. That's what he'd say, anyway... :O)
I can't be in control of what's on YouTube, so what's out there is out there. I can't believe there's a training video uploaded though - that's madness. I assume it's an employee who doesn't care, or B&O wanting to ruin their own launch. I doubt it's the latter.
Geoff could be a TV presenter. Really. He's like that in real life, too! You just can't help but listen and learn. He's also a very funny guy with a razor-sharp sense of humour 'off camera' too...
I've always said he'd be a perfect CEO. He'd have the press eating out of his hand - and if B&O need anything these days, it's a deeply technical guy with bags of charisma.
He's B&O's Steve Jobs. That's it! All hail the Geoff !!!
He'd get my vote, every time.

Present: BL90, Core, BL6000, CD7000, Beogram 7000, Essence Remote.
Past: BL1, BL2, BL8000, BS9000, BL5, BC2, BS5, BV5, BV4-50, Beosystem 3, BL3, DVD1, Beoremote 4, Moment.
The videos are made just like the video about the BL90, that came out some month ago/same style.
And it surely was made weeks ago (summer vacation time in Struer has just ended)
My guess is, that it is extremely difficult to have Youtube wait for releasing something at a - from the uploader choosen - time.
Or they simply 'forgot' to make it protected.
However - B&O already did leak something earlier, when the BL50 silhouette showed up in the sound menu of the tv's a couple of weeks ago.
But probably not much harm done - the videos are pretty hard to find unless you have the direct link, as we have.
Not many people have seen them, and those under NDA (journalists etc) probably will keep tight to avoid being excluded from future prelaunches.
What imo is worse is, that they already are seen (and can be heard) at different dealers (in DK anyway).

I second that... charismatic and a driver

We miss more pictures but from what I can see in the videos, I love it.
Not as impressiv as the bl5 but they looks good and not so classical as some pretends.
I feel very positiv about its career (and the one of geoff evidently, he is the guy for b&o like Lee said).
For people thinking that b&o is dying, that's not absolutely right, bang olufsen is a phoenix.
From the beginning to now, his history is full of up and down.
If I got the money I would probably by them with pleasure. Less brutal than the beolab 5, so a better WAF. I am sure I could bring them into my bedroom without any issue with my wife.

I really like the way they look. And the fact that the frets are easily removable without screws (unlike the BL20s) is great. I also like the flatter Acoustic lens, it looks more modern than the current variations, and I'm sure performs better too.
